girls would go with her to the gallery she
would sit for foot photograph. So they
went. and the result was that the whole

Whereupon the householder explained
that the lessees were people from New

of spring came on, and who took the
apartments for the year in order TO be
provided with accommodations which
pleased them. This suggests unlmite-
possibilities of the Box and Cox order.
